Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
The chairman of MOVE, INC. (Realtor.com),Joe Hanauer, has been lobbying in Washington with a proposal that poses a solution to the question: 
Proposed 25-acre park in the Creekwood neighborhood including: two dogs parks, a playground, exercise trail, & 2 tennis courts, is in its final planning stage, waiting for approval from the Southwest Florida Water Management District. The park would be on the corner of 44th Avenue East and Creekwood Boulevard.
Under the proposed legislation, ALL home buyers would be eligible for a tax credit worth 10% of the purchase price up to $15,000 and the deadline would be extended by one year from the date of enactment.
